Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

 If you are like most Americans, you have a TV in your home.

Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

 The home theater entertainment experience is a growing

trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

 Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over, causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

 The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

 The Consumer Electronics

Association formed the Home

Entertainment Support Safety

Committee, comprised of TV and consumer electronics furniture

manufacturers, to advocate

children’s safety and educate

consumers and their families about

television safety.

Tune Into Safety

 One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of your

TV (and other electronic components).

 Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure

your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

 Carefully read and understand the other enclosed

instructions for proper use of this product.

 Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture

and TVs.

 Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,

remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

 Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

 Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of

home with your family and friends. Thank you!

23) Always operate this equipment from a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.

29) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

24) Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

25) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in

a position where your body (or any item you are in contact with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.

• Never attempt to install any of the following during lightning activity: a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home theater component connected to an antenna or phone system.

30)For added protection of your TV from lightning and power surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.

31) During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

32) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,

video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For

example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

26) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

27) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

28) WARNI NG: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

FEB02

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

Service

33) WARNI NG: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never attempt to service the

TV yourself. Opening and

removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

34) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer.

• Upon completion of service, ask

the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

35) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a

qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV. Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion and possible personal injury.

Preparing the remote control for use

The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands.

•If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. See “Using the remote control with a VCR or cable TV converter” below.

•If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or converter and want to use your TV remote control to operate it, you will need to program the remote control. See “Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter” on page 13.

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.

Note:

The remote control provided with your TV may or may not operate certain features on your VCR, cable TV converter, or other electronic equipment. Refer to the owner’s manuals for your other equipment to see which features are available. In addition, the other remote controls may have buttons not available on your TV’s remote control. If you would like to use those features or buttons, you may need to use the original remote controls for your other equipment.

Caution:

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.

• Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

• If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter

The remote control provided with your Toshiba TV is preprogrammed to operate Toshiba VCRs and cable TV converters.

To operate a non-Toshiba VCR or converter using the TV remote control, program the remote control (see below) and then see “Using the remote control with a VCR or cable TV converter” on page 12.

To program the remote control:

1. Refer to the VCR and cable TV converter code tables (below and on the next page) to find the corresponding code for your VCR or converter brand.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.

2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:

• VCR: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control

to “VCR.”

• Cable TV converter: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the

remote control to “CABLE.”

3. While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL NUMBERS to enter the three-digit code for your VCR or cable TV converter brand.

4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter, and press POWER to test the code.

•If the VCR or converter responds, you entered the correct

code.

•If the VCR or converter does not respond, repeat steps 1–4

using another code.

5. Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “TV” to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

VCR code: _____________________

Cable TV converter code: _____________________

Note:

• Every time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/ VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to any of the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
